Not in a million years will a bank loan without qualifying you as a risk; especially in this market. The previous answers help substantiate why as well.

Arsenia sorry but the banks have a fiduciary resposibility to their share holders and if they got any TARP money also to WE THE PEOPLE. They will not give a loan without a credit check. Even in the worst of sub prime loans a credit check was needed.

FIRST ANSWER

Anyone can go to a bank and ask about their foreclosures. But banks make loans based on the assumption they will be paid back. I would not expect any bank to give you a house with no credit check or downpayment. If they do they would not be follwing the law or their fiduciary duty.
